These all sound like citadel paint color names.

It would have been more fun to paint cars if someone named the mixing colors like this. Yellow is actually quite rare in automotive mixing systems. You never see yellow cars. There are many you might mistake as actual yellow, but nearly all are a trick. There are usually 2 yellows that are used for tinting, mostly with whites. The primary black in automotive paint is actually yellow based. A tiny amount of black with a fine metallic is how most champagne colored cars are formulated.

Any quality kit should also have pustulant beige.
